Hello,
The Washington State Department of Ecology would love your feedback!
We have developed a draft of proposed guidance for agencies to identify overburdened communities and vulnerable populations for budget equity reporting under the Climate Commitment Act (Chapter 70A.65 RCW) and the HEAL Act (Chapter 70A.02 RCW). We are seeking input from community-based organizations and community members on the proposed guidance.
March 11, 2026, from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. PT
March 12, 2026, from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. PT
The presentation content will be the same for each forum. We will send the materials and the presentation recording to everyone who registers, so please sign up even if you’re unable to attend.
